THE TARIFF AND TAXATION.
"And now, fellow-citizens, I gladly turn to
those questions of national politics which alike
affect all parts of our country, and which alone
ought TO be the subjects of political discussion.
What are these2 answer taxation, currency,
public credit, foreign aud domestic commerce,
education, internal improvoments-topics not
sectional, but of vital Importance to ali alike.
Above all. the mode of national taxation is most
important 1t is interwoven with and doni-
mates all other questions. Whichever party is
in power will find it necessary to secure. by
some form OF taxation, about three hundred
millions of revenue The Constitution gives to
Congress almost unlimited power OF taxa.

portec goods, excises or taxation domestic
productions or EMPLOY ments, and also direct
taxes on property. From the nature Of this
power it is only limited by the public good and
the general welfare. Congress has very rarely
levied direct taxes on property. for this is almost
the sole mode of taxation for the support OF
State and local governments And SO with
taxes on domestic productions. With rare ex
ceptions caused by war or the result OF war,
taxes have not been levied by Congress on any
article of American production. At thia
time the only articles made r
this county subject to national taxation
are whisky. tobacco and beer. They have been
Ltinued so long only to pay expenses growing
out of the war; such as pensions aud interest,"
on the public debt, and because, from their very
nature, the tax cannot be levied by State au-
thority. IL Tennessee should tax tho prodnc-
tion manufacture of whisky, tobacco or beer,
it would only drive their manufacture into
neigh boring States which levied no such tax
Another reason why these articles are taxed br
Congress is that the tax is easily and cheaply
collected, and 's moro freely paid than any
other. perhaps because the consumer is
happy in using them that he does not think oi

.:POETRY:-
DR. HOLMES NEW POEM.

Not ours to ask iu freezing tones
His race, his calling, or his creed
Each heart the tie Of kinship owns
When there are human veins that
bleed.
Here stand the champions to defend
From every wound that flesh can
heal;
Here science, patience, ,skiil shall blend
To save, to claim, to help, to heal.
Father OF Mercies! Weak and frail.
Thy gniding hand Thy children ask
Let not the Great Physician fail
To aid us in our holy task.
Angel of love, for every grief
Its soothing balm, its mercy brings,
For every papg its healing leaf,
For homeless want thy outsprerd
wings.
Enough for thee the pleading eye,
The knitted brow the silent pain
Thy portals open to sigh
without the clank OF bolt or chain.
Who is our brotherf He that lies
Left at the wayside, bruised and sore
He needs our open hand supplies,
His welcome waits him at our door.
Source of all truth and love and light
That warm and cheer our earthly
days;
Be ours to serve our will Alright,
BE thine the glory and the praise.
